Gringo is a homegrown restaurant serving Latin American and Tex-Mex specialties such as ribschickenburritos and more. It’s a quick and casual concept brought to us by the same group behind the Tokyo Bubble Tea franchise. It’s for office goers’ lunch breaks, quick bites and afterwork drinks. It’s not for foodies looking for many rice meal options. We recommend the Southern Spice Chicken, Gringo Baby Back Ribs, Truffle Queso Quesadilla, and Crispy Taco. Our insider tip: They also have a kids menu for the little ones.

Alegria offers Latin flavors with a modern twist on dishes like elote, paella, aglio olio, fajita, as well as different flavored sangrias. It’s for those looking for a taste of atypical Spanish and Latin American food. It’s not for those who want a simple and traditional paella. We recommend the Steak Misono Churrasca and Alma Koreana Maize Tostadas. Our insider tip: Get yourself a sangria pitcher because one glass is certainly not going to be enough.

Kko Kko is a modern Korean chicken house that uses traditional and contemporary recipes that came from Grace Lee and her mom. Their menu is divided into three main categories – Korean Fried Chicken, Korean Street Food, and Dosirak (Korean lunch box) – each narrating a story about the dining setting and customs of Korea. It’s for foodies looking for new and unique Korean dishes. It’s not for people looking for grilled Korean BBQ. We recommend the Chicken Cheese Fondue, Snow Chicken Cheese, and Galbi Jim Dosirak. Our insider tip is the place is quite small and may get full quickly on peak hours, so make sure to book a table ahead of time. Fun Fact: Kko Kko was named after the sound that a chicken makes.
